Bert's place was very nice and spotless clean. It had everything one needs wether on a short stay or a longer stay (stayed there 2 weeks). The place had plenty of towels, shampoo, cutton, body lotion, iron, hair dryer. A home away from home. Although Bert was travelling when I was there, he was very communicative and put me in touch with his friend Tanya who was equally welcoming. The building is nice but not amazing compared to the luxury condiminiums in Bangkok (I have seen a few since I was looking for a more permanent place while staying there) but had laundery, a drinking water machine at each floor (very convenient!), a pool, a library of sorts. There is a Big C supermarket 15 to 20 minutes away as well as the BTS station (a bit of a walk everyday but a mototaxi can take you there and possibly the building shuttle but I never asked). a few 7/11 nearby as well as street food and some restaurants. Ari is also one BTS station away with a lot of great restaurants. It's a bit far from "downtown" and its shopping malls and usual touristy arrtractions and sites but a taxi would get you there (or the BTS) for about 5 USD. Traffic is horrendous in Bangkok, brace yourself visitor. The internet worked great during my stay, the A/C as well. The TV only has local channels which sadly - if you speak Thai that is - are repeating TV programs about the late King of Thailand that just passed. Since I wasn't in BKK as a tourist, it would have been cool to have some international channels with maybe news or movies. Otherwise great appartment and good value for money if a for a group of freinds or family.
